Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. It is said that nothing is free, but that’s not exactly true. Listen to the third segment of the show to find out how you can get a free subscription to The Syncopated Times, the national newspaper devoted to exploring the worlds of jazz, ragtime and swing. On this week’s show we’ll also do the chicken reel,

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. The first line of the song “Me And My Shadow” starts with “Me and my shadow / strolling down the avenue.” But the lyric never reveals the avenue being strolled down. So we’re going to present some possibilities. And because there are so many famous avenues in New York City, there’s a

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. There are literally hundreds of “Nation this day” and “National that Day”, some commemorating worthy causes and event, and some rather frivolous. On this week’s edition of the show, we’re going to celebrate a couple of each. Some of you may still be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day (or

If not, and even if you do, by the end of the show, you’re going to find out more about Ernie Palmquist than you probably ever wanted to know! We’re also going to follow-up on last week’s segment about “needle drops” by playing a set of Edison electrical

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. There’s a little event going on in Hollywood this evening called the Academy Awards or The Oscars. Not to be outdone by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences, for the last segment of tonight’s show, we’re going to have our own Oscar presentation.

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. I hope you like the “One Thing in Common” segments, because we’ve got yet another one this week! The four records in the first segment are wildly divergent, but they all have one thing in common. You can make what will likely be a futile attempt to figure it out while they’re playing, or you can just

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. Our family is fond of the phrase “It’s all about the stories.” And on this week’s edition of the show I’ll tell you one my favorite family stories. We haven’t had a vocabulary lesson on the show in a while, but this week we start off with one. We’ll also have some musical bouquets and

Smoothies are good, and good for you, so during this week’s show we’re going to partake in a couple of smoothies. We’ll also hear some records by Howard Rosenthal and some songs by Howard Rosenthal. We’ll start off with some adorable songs and have our own mini women’s movement. There are at least

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. This week’s edition of the show is just gonna be a train wreck. Inspired by a real train wreck. But besides that, we’re going to go back to school, turn down the lights, hear all about Rosie and do some wondering. There are at least a couple of records making their RRR debut.

Do you like the “One Thing In Common” shows and segments we’ve been doing periodically? I certainly hope so, because this week, it’s another! Yup, 15 great records which all have one thing in common. Don’t even try to figure it out, but just sit back, relax and listen to the music. I will reveal

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. I had hoped to do this week’s show live from the newly transformed KISL studio complex in City Park, Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, California, but unfortunately, the new equipment is not quite fully functional. The studio is undergoing a remarkable metamorphosis and I will post pictures and do a live show just as soon

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. I do my best to do thorough research on the records, artists and composers presented on the show, but every once in a while, I’ll get something wrong or butcher a name. When that happens I’m happy to admit an error and try to set the record straight. Such was the case last week when the final segment of the show

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. As you know, last week’s show was an “encore” presentation of the December 30, 2007 show because I was down most of the week following Christmas with a rather severe cold. I’m happy to say I recovered enough to have a quiet but pleasant New Year celebration at home and am now feeling almost 100%

Welcome to Rapidly Rotating Records, bringing you vintage music to which you can’t *not* tap your toes, from rapidly rotating 78RPM records of the 1920s and’30s. Christmas being not just a day but a season, I had it all planned out to continue the season with a new show consisting of songs having to do with merriment, jollity, happiness, joy and cheer. But alas, Mother Nature had other plans, namely, that I should come down with a severe cold the day after Christmas which has kept me

Following a “One Thing in Common” show and last week’s special Bob Effros birthday show, we’re back with a regular ol’ edition of Rapidly Rotating Records.

On this week’s very special edition of Rapidly Rotating Records, we celebrate just one birthday, that of trumpeter and composer Bob Effros, and to help celebrate, joining us is Bob’s granddaughter, Barbara Effros. She affectionately refers to her grandfather as “GBE” for Grandpa Bob Effros, or simply

This week is yet another “One Thing in Common” edition of Rapidly Rotating Records. Because I apparently don’t talk as much on this show, there are 17 great records, all of which have one thing in common. It’s not a contest and the answer is pretty simple.

As you’re listening to this week’s broadcast, I’m in Sacramento (well, technically Rancho Cordova) for the 31st annual West Coast Ragtime Festival.
